OASIS CHAPTER NINE! ONLY TWO MORE CHAPTERS LEFT!

by Kate in Maryland

Lindsay tugged the raft with her to shore, trying to fight the currents. Her thoughts and questions raced through her head. How did she get here? How did she know Lindsay was on the island? Did she swim all the way here? Did she bring help?

Lindsay grunted as she hauled up the heavy raft on to the sand.

"Brooke!" she yelled, shaking Brooke's frozen shoulders, jolting her back to life

Brooke's face lit up with color. Her hands felt the warm sand, and she turned to Lindsay, who seemed to be in shock from seeing her friend here, on this horrid island. "Linds?" she muttered, out of breath.

"I am here. What do you need?"

"P-passage" the words escaped from her mouth.

"What?"

"I took the passage", said Brooke, her breathing back to normal.

"Like... to get from here to back home?"

Brooke nodded. Lindsay finally understood. There was a way out!
